Art therapy is the use of expressive arts in the therapeutic field, appreciating the innate desire in us as human beings to understand ourselves and communicate not only verbally, and understanding that the expression itself has a healing- and therapeutic value.
In the studies of multidisciplinary art therapy that I rely on, we keep a humanistic and phenomenological view, believing that body language, as well as verbal and artistic expression serve as complements, and are even considered as key engines, in the therapeutic and educational process.
I have worked in recreational and educational settings; with children, adolescents in what we call «social risk» as well as with adults in prison. Today I’m using the arts and the humanistic and phenomenological approach in my practice and teaching of Yoga.
